It’s easier than ever to pick up your bike from your local store. When browsing the Walmart website, look for items marked Free pickup. After you find a bike that fits, you’ll more than likely need to adjust the seat. When sitting on the seat, your leg should be almost completely straight when you push the pedal all the way down. For the sake of safety and comfort, it’s important to find a model that fits you. For example, a women’s bike will have a shorter stack height and shorter reach lengths.
We don’t make bikes for racers or weekend warriors, and we don’t use carbon, because it’s dangerous. We don’t make uncomfortable, short-lived, road bikes or mechanically overkilled mountain bikes. Our CrMo steel UNracing bikes are sleek, gorgeous, comfortable, efficient, safe, will last longer, and be safer every ride. Bicycle suspensions are used primarily on mountain bicycles, but are also common on hybrid bicycles, as they can help deal with problematic vibration from poor surfaces. Suspension is especially important on recumbent bicycles, since while an upright bicycle rider can stand on the pedals to achieve some of the benefits of suspension, a recumbent rider cannot. If you are buying a bike to ride with a group of friends, buy something similar to what they ride.
